Brazilian steakhouse Texas de Brazil is another top choice. Yelpers give the business, located at 8390 Northfield Blvd., Suite 1800, four stars out of 441 reviews.

With locations across the U.S., Mexico, Middle East and East Asia, Texas de Brazil offers all-you-can-eat Brazilian barbecue, salad, hot sides and desserts.

"The lamp and pork was OK, but I must admit that the Brazilian picanha (sirloin cap steak) was really delicious and full of flavor," said Yelper Victor R. "The service was good, and the servers with the different meats were excellent, always asking and making sure you had everything you wanted."
